Flashtube replacement

English

If the unit does not flash but the ON/OFF switch indicates that there is power, it could be that the flash tube needs replacing. Flash tubes have a long life with average use,

but multiflashing in long sequences can cause overheating of the electrodes leading to premature ageing, or perhaps the flastube is broken or cracked.

To replace the flash tube:

1.Switch off the mains switch

2.Remove the mains cable

3.Take the unit from its stand or lay it horizontally on a rigid surface. It will need to be held firmly whilst removing and replacing the tube.

4.Allow the flash tube and modelling lamp to cool for several minutes. They may be very hot.

5.Carefully remove and store the modelling lamp.

6.Use a protective glove to remove the flashtube:

A – Pull the flash tube firmly out of the terminals

B – If the tube is broken, use security gloves. Avoid cutting yourself!

C - If the tube is broken, never touch the metal electrodes and ensure that the unit is disconnected from the mains and discharged, wait min. 30 minutes! Use an insulated tool to pull out the electrodes.

7.Take the new flash tube. A glove or "plastic protection" MUST BE USED. Contact with your fingers on the glas, will cause dark markings on the tube when it is used.

8.Check that the tube is correctly aligned (central) and that the trigger contact is gripping the tube.

9.Re-connect and test the unit as usual.
